Hi All
Just wondered if anyone has used the Voigtlander 65mm Apo Macro Lanthar with extension tubes?

If i bought this lens i'd possibly sell my Leica 100 Apo + Elpro so I'd lose 1:1 macro.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, I don't recall any floating elements to cause issues either.

I have a set of the Kenko FE 16mm and 10mm tubes that I have used with the 65mm Apo Lanthar.

The only problem I have experienced is that the fit of the tubes is a bit loose compared with my old, much better engineered, Contax or Pentax tubes. The weight of the Apo Lanthar tends to accentuate this problem which is a bit unnerving. This is less of a problem when using one tube rather than both.

Yes, I have used tubes. Works great, but pretty sure the lens does have a floating element so across the frame sharpness will be affected by induced field curvature so lens would not be ideal for reproduction work at 1:1 using tubes.

I stand corrected.
Closeup filters may be an option to increase magnification, anyone able to test?
